10 Concepts Liberals Talk About Incessantly But Don’t Understand

“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” — Ronald Reagan

”You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.” — Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride

1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at all to do with seriously considering other people’s ideas. To the contrary, liberals define being “open-minded” as agreeing with them. What could be more close-minded than assuming that not only are you right, but that you don’t even need to consider another viewpoint because anyone who disagrees must be evil?

2) Racism: Liberals start with the presumption that only white people who don’t belong to the Democratic Party can be racist. So, for example, even if Jeremiah Wright can make it clear that he hates white people because of their skin color or if liberals take an explicitly racist political position, like suggesting that black people are too stupid and incompetent to get identification to vote, they can’t be racist. White Republicans, on the other hand, are generally assumed to be racist by default, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.

3) Fairness: In all fairness, I must admit that fairness is an arbitrary concept. So, you could make the argument that no one could get “fairness” wrong. Still, liberals do because they don’t make any effort to actually “be fair.” As a practical matter, liberals define “fairness” as taking as much as possible from people who they don’t think are going to vote for them and giving it to people who may vote for them in return for their ill gotten largesse. Certainly conservatives, libertarians, and moderates might disagree about how much money to take from the wealthy to redistribute to the poor or how to help the disadvantaged, but the only liberal answer to the question, “How much is enough?” is “more.”

4) Greed: To a liberal, believing that you pay too much in taxes or even opposing paying more in taxes is greedy. In actuality, wanting to loot as much money as possible that someone else has earned to use for your own purposes, which is what liberals do, is a much better example of greed.

5) Hate: Liberals often define simple disagreement with them on issues like gay marriage, tax rates, or abortion as hatred. No matter how well a position is explained, or the logical underpinnings behind it, it’s chalked up to hate. Meanwhile, the angriest, most vicious, most hateful people in all of politics are liberals railing against what they say is “hatred.” This irony is completely lost on the Left.

6) Investment: Actual investments involve putting money or resources into a project in hopes that they will appreciate in value. Liberals skip the second half of that equation. To them, an “investment” is taking someone else’s tax dollars and putting them into a project that liberals approve of and whether a profit is made or lost is so irrelevant that they typically don’t even bother to measure the results.

7) Charity: Contributing your own money or time to a good cause is charity. Liberals view themselves as charitable if they take someone else’s tax dollars and give them away to people they hope will vote for them in return. At a minimum, they should at least credit the taxpayers who paid for the money they gave away for the charity, although it’s not really charity if it’s involuntary. Of course, there’s nothing charitable about asking someone else to sacrifice for your gain, which could actually be better described as selfish.

8) Patriotism: Liberals love America the way a wife beater loves his spouse. That’s why they’re always beating up the country “for its own good.” Doesn’t the country understand that liberals have to hit it in the mouth because they LOVE IT SO MUCH?!?!? Of course, the conventional definition of patriotism, which is loving your country and wishing it well, isn’t one that liberals can wrap their heads around.

9) Tolerance: In a free, open, and pluralistic society, there are all sorts of behaviors that we may have to tolerate, even though we don’t approve of those activities. Liberals don’t get this distinction. For one thing, they don’t understand the difference between tolerance and acceptance. They also don’t extend any of the tolerance they’re agitating for to people who disagree with them. Liberals silence people who disagree with them at every opportunity which is, dare we say it, an extremely intolerant way to behave.

10) Diversity: What liberals mean by “diversity” is that they want a broad range of people from different races, colors, and creeds who have identical political views. A black or Hispanic conservative doesn’t contribute to “diversity” in liberal eyes because he actually has diverse views. Incredible role models for women like Sarah Palin can’t be feminists to liberals because she doesn’t share the same liberal beliefs as sexist pigs like Anthony Weiner and Bill Maher. How can you have any meaningful “diversity” when everyone has to think the same way?

Nope. I’ve seen all these things happen, yes, but each “liberal” ls probably guilty of one or two, sometimes, and usually accepts correction from others quickly. Even apologizes.

Simple logical fails throughout this mindless piece by John Hawkins, who would lose any debate on any subject with his critics on this blog. Let’s focus just on 5. Hate, and how it applies in the most recent battles on equal marriage:

If the English speaking world has a strength it’s submission to independent judiciary using logic that in some cases traces back over eight hundred years to make rulings that stand the tests of time. Surely one cannot be a ‘conservative’ without supporting this tradition of logic and equal standing before the law.

As of 2014, literally hundreds of judges, all over the English speaking world, at this point have concluded that there is absolutely no way to guarantee equal civil rights for gay people without the word “marriage”, and they have consistently over-ruled any attempt to restrict that to people who fit a certain religious definition of marriage, popular as those religions may be, they don’t define a civil status.

But insistence that religious fascists get to define a civil right and hand it out only to those they like is somehow a position deserving of “tolerance”, while exactly the same people attack Muslims consistently on similar grounds.

Find me a word other than “hate” to describe why someone would ignore over 70 other rules in Leviticus and consistently bleat about just one, while happily eating shrimp, wearing wool and cloth together, dating or re-marrying when divorced, and not stoning daughters to death for sex before marriage. It’s completely fair to describe the motives for such selectivity as “hate” I think, but if you come up with a more exact word I’ll use it. Until then, those who do so are hate cultists.

So neither logical consistency of argument nor logical consistency of priorities or targets matters to the right wing. Their worthless mindless disproven incoherent “feelings”, i.e. hatred, defines what is worth tolerating. Based on what? Nothing but inertia, which is why millenials don’t care and don’t follow their ideologies.

Soooo true, but still sad that the liberal politicians wont meet in the middle, ,,,they have had their way for 6years and this country is bankrupted to the tune of about 20 trillion. They are acting like nasty little gremlins, angrily destroying freedoms and liberties, all that took centuries of blood to build. When the debt holders demand us pay them, then what??? There will be no more ‘free’ checks coming in the mail, then watch people be fair, diverse, tolerant as they burn down the cities….silly rabbits

What this boils down to is if you dont fit into they’re liberal agenda politically, you’re the bad guy. Liberals will never admit when they’re wrong.They will remain naive and stupid through thick and thin!

I would add responsibility to the list. Liberals all think that someone is responsible for their plight in the world, it just isn’t them. The poor are living in poverty not because they don’t want to work, it is because they are somehow disenfranchised by society. And prior poor life decisions have nothing to do with a person’s state in life.
